Diehl and the Birmingham United defense challenged the offense oriented Concorde Fire team in the teams’ first meeting of season on October 10. Seven games into the season, Diehl’s strong defending and consistent contributions have seen him become a regular starter in the backline.

Birmingham United has bounced back from a slow start in September to earn two draws and a win to remain undefeated in October. The team faces conference opponents, Weston FC and Kendall SC in two weeks and then continues divisional play into November before challenging unique opponents at the Winter Showcase.
